STEERING
The steering wheel has a tendency to “catch” or "stick" at the center line when driving. To overcome this resistance, you have to apply extra pressure, which could lead to oversteering and the car swerving out of your intended direction of steering. This is a known problem, referred to as "sticky steering" in many online searches. The only solution seems to be a complete replacement of the EPS steering rack which is on back order due to demand and I've been quoted a range of $3500 to $5000 to replace by several Honda dealers in my area. This is a serious safety issue with the vehicle and should be recalled for the replacement.

STEERING
The steering is hard to control and maintain lanes at highway speeds. It gets worse with more drive time and strains the hand while driving. The dealer has kept denying such a problem, but all my friends and family keep complaining about it too. Apart from me, no one is ready to drive this car on the highway due to the safety risk. It jerks when trying to maintain lanes, because trying to make slight adjustments sways it off from the lane. The problem is unbearable after long drives of over 4 hours or so.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
I’m having a problem with my steering . It’s like it’s sticky and jerky feeling when driving, causing me to have to overcorrect left or right when making slight adjustments to center. Obviously more noticeable with highway driving. Took to Honda they diagnosed it as VSA Module, got it fixed still having the same issue with sticky steering. I don’t feel safe driving my car

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I turn my car on To go to work realized I didn’t have my phone. Car was in park. I hadn’t touch the gearshift at all I get out of the car. Approximate 20 seconds after I walk away from the car, my home security camera shows the car creeping extremely slowly backwards up into my driveway going up across the crown of the road… across the street and falls into a 10 foot deep ditch. I am 100% certain that Car was in Park… There were no sounds when I open the door to alert me that it would be anything other than park.. The back up camera was not engaged, so it was definitely not in Reverse… When the tow truck pulled it out of the ditch, it was Still running It had stopped vertically before it hit the bottom of the ditch, and rear tire got stuck in muddy water…. There were no ruts from tire, spinning from the front end at all in the ditch or the grass above the ditch… There is a recall of some 2020 civics for brake failure, parking brake failure…. I strongly believe my car needs to be part of this recall, because obviously something is wrong… My road is 55 mph and a car had to stop to avoid hitting my car… I have video from my home camera That shows a clear delay between when I get out of my car and shut the door and the car starts crawling. I tested it after he pulled it out of the ditch just to see if I had it in reverse from the same exact spot wouldn’t move and it immediately moved so I’m certain something is wrong… Right now the body shop can’t even duplicated can’t even get it to get caught between Park and reverse. Please investigate And this could’ve easily been a fatality. I need to send more photos and videos, but it won’t allow me to do it but there’s definitely more for me to send If someone can give me an email

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
This car has an air conditioning issue. Last year the air conditioning stopped working. took it to the honda dealership and they found an issue with the condenser and seals. they fixed it free of charge due to the extended warranty honda put out. not even a full year later the air conditioning stopped working again. took it back to the honda dealership and turns out it's the evaporator. it's not covered by the extended warranty. they quoted me $3,000 to repair it. honda knows the a/c parts are bad. they dont want to cover it.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
My AC system in my 2018 Honda has now failed twice under 80000 miles. The first time the compressor and condenser were leaking and failed around 50000 miles which the dealership said was due to a new refrigerant that Honda had started using for this generation of civics. Following this repair, Honda extended the warranty for these components of the AC system. Early in July 2024, I had the same issues with my AC blowing hot air only and making hissing and banging noises on the passenger side at around 75000 miles. Took this to the dealership and they again said that the compressor and condenser were leaking and had failed but also that the evaporator valve was leaking and failed due to the compressor and condenser issues. However, Honda has not extended their warranty for these parts and this would be an out of pocket cost. Honda needs to own up to their faulty AC system used in this generation of Honda civics and extend the warranty to all involved parts or issue a recall and properly fix the system so it isn’t failing every 18 months.

STEERING
I am having the dealer look at my car next Thursday due to my steering wheel randomly going limp. It seems the car only does it when the engine is warmed up. I’ve noticed this issue when driving straight and mainly going around curves. When the steering goes limp, it cause me to over correct in which my car swerves. There are no warning lamps. This problem started around 70k miles for me and I am at 90k now and I feel the problem has worsened. Sometimes the car is hard to keep on a straight line, it feels as if the wind is always blowing and when you turn against the wind the steering goes loose for about .2 seconds.

STEERING
When driving on a straight road (highway, avenue, etc.) steering wheel tends to stay “sticky” at the 12 o clock position and takes some force to get it to move to make minor adjustments in steering. This makes it overcorrect and causes me to constantly gave to be adjusting to keep the car straight
